Editorial Review for Gravitas – by Joshua Hinsdale
In Short
Chef Scott Tycer, owner of Houston's Pic restaurant, and Executive Chef Jason Gould opened Gravitas in the 1930s-era warehouse and storefront where Antone's Famous Po'Boys once operated. The building was completely renovated and modernized, though with a respectful nod to the past. The menu features classic hearty dishes, including pan-fried trout, smoked duck salad, braised barbecue sandwiches, grilled pork chops, and herb risotto.

Other reviews here had me worried before I decided to give it a try for brunch yesterday. Well, it was extremely enjoyable and the food was tasty. The service was excellent; our server's name was Zac and he was attentive as is appropriate; not overbearing but we weren't waiting on anything. He had it down and was very likeable and had a zip to his demeanor. I can't stand when servers are overbearing or when they look like they are at a funeral. Zac was perfect. Food was extremely good also. I tried the omelette on the brunch menu and my Boyfriend had a special off the menu salmon and dill eggs benedict. We were both extremely pleased with our choices. We also enjoyed our mimosas and it was the perfect portions for us. We did not leave hungry nor did we leave there and need a nap. This was my first visit and will not be my last. I intend on trying it for dinner soon also but they have a frequenter for their brunch in me now.
Pros: Brunch, Valet Parking, Food, Service
Cons: Drinks are a bit pricier than some other comparable area choices

Besides a very rude/mannerless bartender... The food was the absolute worse I've ever had. I would feel better about spending fifty dollars on Whataburger than ever eating at this restaurant again. I tried everyone's dishes, and the same. However, mine, The Roasted Chicken, was especially awful. The au jus the chicken was served with (and soaked into every other part of the dish) had a pungent, stinch aftertaste that made it hard to hold down any food I ate.
Cons: Awful Service, Awful Food
